Текст песни Lady On The Other Side Of Town - 齊豫

Lady on the other side of town

All his friends would go to
Movies on Friday nights
Theyd be drinking beer
And acting like clowns
But he would go to see a lady
On the other side of town
She lived just a block away from Blue Street
Near the cemetery grounds
In a two story house by the river
On the other side of town ()
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
She was 34 and he was 19
It was a social oddity
But nobody knew save the cat and the wind
That an older woman loved him
Theyd play Joni Mitchell records for hours
Smoking cigarettes and watching TV
On a mattress on the floor by the window
Where she made love to him ()
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town

Ill make you some tea,
The lady would say
If you would play piano for me
Music...

And the lady missed her husband
She talked of her divorce all the time
Oh, she missed her lover
And her was missing his
Cause his lover was an actress
She made him promises and let him down
So he had to find his love from a lady
On the other side of town ()
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
The cold icy beam of the moonlight
Cast its shadows on their bodies that danced
And he noticed that the lady had fallen asleep
So he slipped on his pants
And he wrote her a note on hte table
Then he put the pencil down
Said that he was gonna leave the lady
On the other side of town ()
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
As he closed the gate behind him
The tears welled up in her eyes
With the note in her hand at the window
She was sadly waving good-bye
Well he never knew how much that he loved her
And the thought never did occur
The someday hed be somewhere far away
And still be thinking of her
And still be thinking of her

And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side of town
